National Energy Technology Laboratory

The National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), located at 626 Wallace Rd, Pittsburgh, PA 15236, United States, is a pioneering research facility dedicated to advancing energy technologies and solutions. As a part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management, NETL is at the forefront of scientific research and technological innovation aimed at promoting an environmentally sustainable and prosperous energy future.

NETL has achieved a first-of-its-kind software integration with a wafer-scale engine, showcasing its cutting-edge capabilities in energy technology. The laboratory also offers an online tool for data discovery that supports the development of permits for geologic carbon storage, a critical component in the fight against climate change.

The NETL team is actively engaged in the scientific community, with its director and researchers frequently presenting at prestigious events such as the American Chemical Society Fall Meeting and the International Applied Geoscience and Energy Event. Their work is recognized and supported through significant federal funding, including nearly $800,000 awarded to Purdue University and a $44 million carbon storage project involving Texas Tech University.

In addition to its domestic efforts, NETL is part of an international partnership that has successfully completed gas hydrates production testing on the Alaska North Slope, further demonstrating its global impact. The laboratory’s Research Partnerships and Tech Transfer initiative supports its mission by identifying and securing opportunities for collaboration with government organizations, national laboratories, academia, industry, and other stakeholders.

NETL is committed to driving innovation and delivering solutions that ensure a sustainable and prosperous energy future for all.
